Bin Twisted Fate 9.8 This is our BLG's double marksman!
Xun Xin Zhao 8.3 Good tempo, but what give you the confidence to so steal blue by yourself?
Knight Taliyah 9.7 This game Trist kept getting fed kills, while you are the one controlling the tempo of the game, and give all the kill to your teammates, you are the true MVP of this game.
Elk Kalista 3.7 This game just treat Kalista like Tahm Kench.
ON Renata Glasc 9.6 "I didn't say you could go, did I?"
BigWei 5.5 Don't ban Nid against Gen.G but ban it against T1, are you drunk?

Zeus K'Sante 6.0 I often think what if Sang-hyeok brother is 10 years younger.
Oner Sejuani 3.8 Tarzan: I logged on.
Faker Tristana 2.8 Hey bro, maybe you should go tryout for the Old Guy Cup.
Gumayusi Senna 3.6 That herald in the baron pit, directly give BLG a way to go in, pure comedy.

Bin K'Sante 8.9 So weird, you are the most in form, but bot lane is getting the highest priority.
Xun Wukong 3.5 You the only one pick Wukong this whole MSI, and last time you tried you got giga gapped, why pick it again, J4 and Xin would be so much better.
Knight Neeko 8.6 Not your fault, same like last series against Gen.G, bot feed a lot of kills and then blame you invisible.
Elk Varus 2.6 You were not human in any of the recent games.
ON Kalista 2.7 If you keep playing like this, I'm gonna go watch KPL.
BigWei 2.7 BigWei and rest of the coaching stuff come out and face the flame, why are you so focused on strong lanes, didn't you learn. Don't waste so many ban for mid, just tell left hand be more confident and pick a tempo champ, don't always think about laning. Pick some engage champ like Naut, Rell, Alistar, Camille for On, Xun could pick carry jungle like Nid or Kindred if there are engage already, else just pick J4, Sej, Maokai, Wukong. Bin watch out for Zeus last pick counter pick, don't be cocky, BLG fighting, please win this!

Zeus Camille 8.7 Using the T1 formula, if Zeus can carry, this game will be a stomp.
Oner Sejuani 8.7 You tempo is so good, so why are you kept picking Viego.
Faker Akali 7.1 Dude, what use do you have? I mean seriously, you are not really useful.
Gumayusi Draven 9.3 Why kept picking me Senna, am I weaker than them?
Keria Ashe 7.4 If you didn't ult the real Wukong, that last fight will turn out different.
kk0ma 6.8 No difference compared to Ham. (Laker coach.)

Bin Twisted Fate 9.9 Fine red wine glitters in a jade chalice that glows in the night, next card will be a ace of heart. (The first part is a famous Chinese poem "葡萄美酒夜光杯", and the second part rhymes with that in Chinese.)
Xun Xin Zhao 9.2 That flash for flash at top was so critical, as a Yasuo main I felt the pain.
Knight Annie 9.8 Knight: Yagao, I don't know what to do. Yagao: ZhuoDing, maybe its time for Annie.
Elk Senna 9.5 WE.Jiumeng, UP.ELK, BLG.Husband is fighting for control of the body, husband is winning right now. (past name and nickname for Elk.)
ON Ornn 9.7 Gift a kill when fountain diving, champion at karma.
BigWei 7.7 Wow, did you just first pick Senna? (This was a 1 star rating comment, probably made right after the draft.)
T1

Zeus Yasuo 2.5 Come duo with me, I'm silver, my username is weird top. (It is the name for a steamer 霸哥 that is known for been bad,farming under tower, and possibly using 3rd party software to cheat.)
Oner Nidalee 2.8 Oner: Nidalee, I don't know what to do now. Nidalee: What, who are you again?
Faker Zac 2.8 This Zac pick is like a summary of T1, once Faker dies, four turd pop out.
Gumayusi Kalista 2.8 So you are really an egg, either fried egg, or egg drop soup. (Those are dishes in China, and dish is called 菜, which also means bad when used in league.)
Keria Nautilus 2.9 OP
kk0ma 3.1 Kenzhu:Hmm, did you reuse your old password? 1557, such an easy password.

Bin Twisted Fate 9.6 Tried your best.
Xun Vi 2.4 Fully responsible.
Knight Corki 7.2 When Chovy's Corki had an advantage, his teammate didn't decide to int.
Elk Varus 3.5 You finally got you condition under control, your jungler's is acting up again.
ON Nautilus 6.6 OK I guess, the support Naut is the only one that could face check.
BigWei 3.2 Xun's Vi, Elk's Varus, game is GG at BP.

Zeus K'Sante 8.0 Showmaker.jpg.
Oner Viego 8.5 Oner: Viego, I don't know what to do now. Viego: Who are you? Oner: I'm Zhao "JieJie" Li-Jie, don't turn around to look.
Faker Aurelion Sol 6.5 Head scratcher, inted at least 4 times.
Gumayusi Senna 8.3 Your ult is so clutch, so many key shields.
Keria Ornn 8.1 I upgrade based on age, Zeus sad :C.

Bin Camille 9.9 Best top in the world, LPL's pride, you deserves it!
Xun Xin Zhao 7.6 Your entire purpose this game is to facecheck.
Knight Neeko 9.7 Watching you whole game, you were laughing the whole game.
Elk Senna 9.3 I think I kinda get LCK's love for Senna now, and your Senna last year G5 against Gen.G, maybe Senna is actually good.
ON Ornn 9.8 Everyone is even before Letme.
BigWei 5.7 So dumb, I guess you've made enough money and want to retire, how did you BP like this?

Zeus K'Sante 2.8 Now you really became Bin's son.
Oner Viego 2.6 Viego: Wait, your are not Zhao "JieJie" Li-Jie, byebye.
Faker Taliyah 3.2 Faker, now its time to wake up from the sweet dream.
Gumayusi Varus 2.8 A kid came to T1, his Varus is flying. (A copy pasta for TheShy, original one is something like: A kid came to WE, his Riven is flying. It was an compliment, but in this case Guma's Varus was literality in the sky.)
Keria Nautilus 2.6 That flash hook clone is a bit cringe.
kk0ma 4.1 Password too hard, let me try other side's.

2024.05.17 00:34 Effective-Ad-2390 Seasonal employment turning into a career? Where can getting my first seasonal position take me? Female, age 24.7

I have two paths and I have to make a decision in 3 days. My dad says go for what your gut is telling you. I don't know what my gut is telling me.
First Path: If I go to grad school and do the GA job for the soccer team, I am setting myself up for a career as a collegiate soccer coach. That path is easier to me. I know how to do school and I know how to do soccer (although not as a coach yet) as that's all I have done my entire life. This path is comfortable to me, secure, scares me less.
Second Path: The ranch position scares me. It is unstable as in 3 months I must find another position. The ranch puts me in a situation I have never experienced before. Forces me to learn things I have never learned about. It is new and exciting and scary. But if I did it, I would do everything to learn the most I can. Learn how to career climb in the hospitality industry. Learn how to give people an experience as that is something I love to do.
If there was a crystal ball that told me the outcome to each of these paths and one told me I will be a successful collegiate head coach in 10 years and the other told me I will own my own hospitality experience, I would choose the path to owning my own hospitality experience. What does that tell me? Could I ever have both? Do you know that fig tree poem by Sylvia Plath?
I guess my questions are, can seasonal work turn into a lifelong career? Where could I end up? Will I be wasting the opportunity to go to grad school being a Grad Assistant (GA) for the soccer team taking the next step to being a collegiate coach? The collegiate coach dream of mine is because it is comfortable to me, i know i would be good at it, and I could see myself doing it forever. But part of me wants to be free and adventure and work those long hard seasonal jobs in case I learn something or meet someone and it takes my life in a direction I never even would have imagined.
Hope any of you can help me.

2024.05.13 19:52 WDKilpackIII Kilpack Launches Dystopian Military Sci-Fi Trilogy with Battle Calm

Kilpack Launches Dystopian Military Sci-Fi Trilogy with Battle Calm
W.D. Kilpack III, a native of West Jordan, Uta., had his sixth novel, Battle Calm, published on Amazon.com. This is the first book in a trilogy called the Battle Calm Cycle, set in a dystopian future. It is Kilpack's first hardcover release, but is also available in eBook and on Kindle Unlimited.
https://preview.redd.it/uypg3kt5f80d1.jpg?width=807&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6106b31b716bafc8414bf53a110d47d85e30e61c
Battle Calm centers around Badger, a Keeper, who is the greatest soldier alive. He knows to never celebrate victories, no matter how hard-won, because the enemy never stops. When Badger succeeded his father, Red Skin, as Keeper Base Leader, he was well prepared, raised to handle anything the enemy threw at him. He was the best killer, and the most respected tactician. He knew Red Skin’s Laws like he wrote them himself. Most importantly, he was always calm, no matter how frenzied the combat. These were only some of the reasons why he still had all his original parts. His two closest friends are Trinity, who would die for him, and Korry, who would follow him without question. They are all Keepers. They fight, they kill, they live to kill another day, even when it means bugging out to another Base ... and another. That is life when life is war. They know nothing else. But even war cannot last forever, regardless of the infallible truth of Red Skin’s Law #35: “Under conditions of peace, men attack themselves; thus, there never has been, and there never will be a time without war. It is the greatest, most perfect thing men can do.”
Kilpack said, "I wrote the very earliest drafts of these books when I was 14. Don't worry, they've been revised many, many times since then. I'm very happy with the state they're in now. The military aspect is much more authentic in a lot of ways, despite being a fictional branch of the military. Research and Q&A with some veterans went into restructuring that aspect of the story both through direct feedback and pointing me to the right places to dig and find out for myself."
Kilpack is an award-winning and critically acclaimed internationally published writer, with works appearing in print, online, radio and television, starting with his first publication credit at the age of nine, when he wrote an award-winning poem. He has since won 23 book awards, including The International Firebird Book Award, The BookFest Award, International Impact Book Award, both Editor's Choice and Top Pick from BooksShelf and Honorable Mention from L. Ron Hubbard's Writers of the Future Contest for his novella, Pale Face, which was recently optioned for development for a Hollywood movie. He has been editor and/or publisher of 19 news and literary publications, both online and in print, with circulations as high as 770,000.
He received both his bachelor's and master's degrees from Westminster University. As an undergrad, he double-majored in communication and philosophy, while completing the Honors Program. As a graduate student, he earned a master of professional communication with a writing emphasis. He was also a high-performing athlete, qualifying for international competition in Greco-Roman wrestling.
For 25 years, he was a communication professor and a nationally recognized wrestling coach. He is an accomplished cook and has cooked nearly every type of food on a grill. He is happily married to his high-school sweetheart and is father to five children, as well as helping to raise five step-children. He was born in Salt Lake City, Utah, where he continues to live, consult and educate. For more information www.Kilpack.net
Praise for Pale Face
Pale Face is "pretty darned good. I like it. I love how [Hector] sees the aliens and the white men in the same light. A nice, brutal, ironic twist ... this is good stuff." — Dave Wolverton, international best-selling author
Praise for Crown Prince: Book One of New Blood
"Author W.D. Kilpack III presents an atmospheric and immersive journey into a richly crafted fantasy world, balancing a strong character-led adventure with a wider web of plots, setting up a highly complex and enjoyable fantasy saga to follow. There’s a clear flair for character, dialogue, and attitude from the start, with Natharr's intense presence affecting all who encounter him and making for some really dynamic clashes. The weightiness of his responsibilities and the depth of the world-building immediately gripped my attention and, as the story unfolded, the way the characters’ attitudes and actions were shaped by the realism of the worldbuilding was totally compelling. This book delivers on every promise of pulse-pounding adventure — thanks to the swift pacing of the plot, coupled with dark storytelling, strong descriptive skills, and captivating character development that balances emotion with duty well. Overall, I would certainly recommend Crown Prince as an incredible opener to an exciting new fantasy series, and I’m all the more eager to continue exploring this fantastical realm." — USA Today best-selling author K.C. Finn
Praise for Order of Light: Book Two of New Blood
"W. D. Kilpack III's Crown Prince captivated me. His vivid descriptions plunged me into a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds, and emotions. I devoured the first book in the New Blood Saga, desperate to see where the tale would lead. So, it was with bated breath that I cracked open Order of Light, the series' second instalment. Kilpack doesn't disappoint. The themes that resonated in Crown Prince deepen and twist in Order of Light. He has a way of making words just flow vividly on the page. On page 106 of my Australian paperback version, a revelation about Natharr, the Guardian of Maarihk, floored me! His journey of self-discovery weaves flawlessly with the Crown Prince's own remarkable growth. New fantastical creatures emerge from Kilpack's boundless imagination. The Quiet One and Bu, meticulously detailed in all their wonder, are testament to his storytelling prowess. But fear not, I won't spoil the magic! Suffice it to say, fans of epic fantasy, your search is over. Kilpack is your new literary lord. From exhilarating battle sequences to poignant moments of reflection, Order of Light is a masterpiece. If I could, I’d give it a six! Both it and Crown Prince deserve a place on your bookshelf. Trust me, you won't regret immersing yourself in Kilpack's world." — Jose F. Nodar, author of Books, Pens & Larceny (South Wales, Australia)
Praise for Demon Seed: Book Three of New Blood
"Demon Seed is the thrilling and fast-paced third book in the New Blood Saga ... Kilpack does not disappoint! Demon Seed is a shocking and brilliant tale that will reintroduce readers to characters we have come to love/be invested in. In this third book, the stakes are as high as ever and the story the reader is taken on will enthrall, captivate and excite its readers ... Kilpack from the beginning hooks his readers and keeps them enchanted to the very end. I have to recommend Demon Seed to readers that love epic fantasy! Demon Seed is one that is full of shocks, thrills, and twists and turns galore that will keep you on edge from beginning to end. [It] is an incredibly suspenseful novel and this is thanks to the wonderful author, whose work I love ... [Demon Seed] did not let me down, this saga has not lost its momentum or uniqueness. Kilpack is an exceptional author [who] knows how to flawlessly transport his readers into the story ... the descriptions are phenomenal ... Demon Seed is a magnificent and entertaining book that will easily entertain its readers for many hours! That is why I of course have to award this incredible book five stars!" — RedHeadedBookLover.com
Praise for Rilari: Book Four of New Blood
"Embark on a captivating journey with W.D. Kilpack III's Rilari: Book Four of New Blood, a tale that expertly weaves tension, mystery, and awe-inspiring heroism. Kilpack's world-building skillfully combines politics, magic, and ancient lore, creating a rich tapestry for readers to explore. The characters, especially Natharr and the Knights of Ril, are well-developed, and the dynamic between Nathan and his summoned companion adds depth and heart to the story. Kilpack successfully incorporates profound themes of resilience and unity into the gripping plot, leaving readers emotionally connected. Riliari is a triumph, offering an enthralling adventure filled with courage and the enduring spirit of humanity." — BooksShelf.com

JackeyLove Lucian 8.6 When you have to pull all your eggs in the Jacky basket, TES is probably doomed.

Creme Corki 9.8 Was Trist piloting the plane? You can only play yordles from now on.
JackeyLove Draven 9.7 When the rift herald was summoned, the music started to play in my ears, da da da di da la. (Referencing the Jacky Marching Song (난! (I) By Clon I think.) It is used by a lot of Jacky clips in Chinese TikTok, people called it Jacky anthem.)
Meiko Ashe 9.9 General settles Tian Shan with 3 arrows, Warrior march into the gates of Korea. (A poem from Old Book of Tang, about the general that conquered Goguryeo, a Korean kingdom lasted till 668, I'm not a poet, so the translation is probably botching it.).

I'm not sure where I'll end up posting this, but I need to get this out there somewhere---even it it's trivial, this situation has been suffocating me. I can't keep this bottled up, so why not drag strangers into my drama? Lol.
This is my second attempt at keeping this short. I want to give the full picture, and I'm not sure if that'll be possible short-form. If you're willing to willing to stick through it and leave a positive comment, I'd be grateful. TLDR at the bottom, but it'll make it seem less serious than it feels.
I (M17) am currently in my Junior year of high school (please just bear with me), but I met this person (F16) in the middle of my Sophomore year. I'll call her "Moon" for the sake of anonymity. We were both present during the beginning of Poetry Slam season, and met under the circumstances of having to do a three-person group piece in Poetry Club for a short while. Being the most experienced (and partially representing the club), I coached our group, and recommend we exchange contact information to work on it later.
I always check up on every new friend I make. Depending on how they act, I generally use it as an ice-breaker to get an understanding of how I should act around them---if I should check up on them often, or leave them to their own devices. Our third member was the latter, but I was pleasantly surprised to hear Moon encourage conversation.
Off the bat, their first impression trumped anyone else I had ever met. They were openly considerate, kind, and compassionate---three traits you very rarely see in high school, and traits I highly valued. As a result, we immediately clicked. We checked in to chat every day, looked forward to being in each other's presence, and she even started joining me in Poetry class---her lunch period aligned with the period I had Poetry. This is just the beginning, but it made the best friend I've had since first grade.
Every now-and-then, we do open mics in Poetry class. As a guest, Moon requested a turn in the middle of the other performers. When she went up to the mic, she smiled at me. It was an appreciation poem that covered all the nice things I had done for her, and how it made her feel. It was the nicest thing anyone has ever done for me. I gave her our first hug to show my appreciation.
From that point on; every greeting and every goodbye would always warrant some sort of physical affection---usually a hug. We started opening up more, sharing platonically intimate moments that I had never shared with anyone before. We both read and loved the manga Insomniacs After School (great read), we both aspired to have a relationship like Isaki and Nakami---two people that confidently took on intimacy despite opinions thst opposed it.
She gave me the strength and confidence to make more friends, and stop shackling myself to school's expectations.
Someone from our class brought up how strangely close we were---that she was the only one I had ever outwardly shown affection to. They accused me of having romantic feelings (which I didn't at the time), but Moon assured me she would never let it get between us. She never believed the silly gossip, and I wholeheartedly appreciated it. It went so far as her asking for a random hug amidst our peers, and even giving a verbal, "I love you," in response to thinking she offended me. I didn't hear it, but she told me later in DMs---it was a phrase we commonly said to each other through messaging. She was the first to bring it up, saying it was how she wanted to express her affection. Though, I doubt I'll be able to hear it from her mouth again.
When Spring Break came around, the chips began to fall. We planned on going to watch the stars in a nearby park together, but they got I'll and canceled on me. Despite complaining about how our break would be grueling without my presence (same for me), Moon started giving me the cold shoulder after that point. Her responses were suddenly dry, intimacy and physical affection completely haulted, and we rarely interacted in person. I drew blanks. We had been so close for months---they've shown enough maturity to not switch up to quickly. That's what I thought, at least.
After a week or two of overcompensating to try and coax a smile, I confronted her about it. In response, she asked ominously if she could be blunt. Following her request, which I obviously accepted, she said that my expression of affection and appreciation was being interpreted different than what I intended---as pity. I tried assuring her she was wrong, and that I'd give her some space to collect her busy thoughts. But at that point, I was just beating a dead horse.
A month passed, then two, then all of Summer Break. I don't think I'll ever be able to earn back what I lost. I had, and still have, so many regrets. She said I was pretty---I wish I got to tell her how pretty I thought she was. I wish I got to live through more nerve-wracking Poetry competitions with her to calm me down. Or perform in another school-bound showcase with the charm she'd give me before I went on stage. I wish I had more to give, and I wish I wasn't always left with little trinkets to remind me of all the friendships that inevitably sizzle out. Platonic or romantic; I wish we got to verbally reciprocate our coveted phrase.
Coming full circle, we were recently assigned group poems. Our teacher was just to our friendship just as much as I was, and put us together. It's been awkward working together, but Moon seems overjoyed with how it's coming out. She even asked me to perform it with her in both the Slam Championships AND an in-house school showcase. I haven't performed since we split, but I instinctively just said yes.
I'm aware this is unhealthy and obsessive. This is teenage bullshit, and I'm plenty aware of that fact. I'm conflicted, and needed to share this somewhere. Thanks for reading through. I encourage you not to give me the whole, "it gets better" or, "you're young, high school doesn't mean anything! Wait until college." I appreciate the sentiment, but that leaves me with nothing but helplessness. It doesn't help me cope with what I'm currently going through.
TLDR; The best person I've ever met misinterpreted my affection as pity, giving me the cold shoulder as they departed. Our relationship is painfully up in the air, and I'm left with a sense of helplessness as I trudge through the year observing their happiness merely from the sidelines.

(Briefly reflect on interview experiences, if applicable.)

WashU: 9/10, in person, had a fun time with interviewer and he even gave me some book recommendations and sent a personal thank you email to me afterwards
Essays
Spent a looong time on my personal statement and it turned out pretty well, 9.5/10, talked about how I love finding unique restaurants which is ironic since I used to have a peanut allergy that I had to overcome through daily immunotherapy over 8 years and used that idea to illustrate that consistency is at the heart of who I am and I have a unique way of finding the best in every person and every situation (maybe a little corny but every professional I showed it to said it was great).

Acceptances:
Ohio State RD + 0

Vanderbilt (RD) (expected)
NYU (RD) (kind of expected)
Additional Information: I should have applied to more reach schools. Idk if I would have been able to afford any of them (gotta love how fin aid works) but I wish I did. I am probably gonna commit to UIUC for bus+ds, just making sure that’s what I really wanna do. My school also only lets people take AP classes in their junior year but my parents did not want me to be too stressed out and forced me to take none (very unusual I know) which I think made my application less strong to the top schools I wanted to get into. However, it did make my junior year wayyy less stressful so I guess I cannot complain too much. My ECs are also underwhelming because I literally played baseball 6-7 days a week from freshman year-end of last summer. I don’t regret it at all but it certainly limited me in that respect.

2024.04.05 06:49 SteveW_MC The COMPLETE List of Failable Gigs and Side Jobs in Cyberpunk 2077 (v2.12)

It's finally here. After about 2 months of work, hundreds of hours play testing, at least 100 manual saves, 4 days worth of re-recording corrupted footage, asking countless questions on both Cyberpunk2077 subs, and a bunch of comments from people asking me if I'm ok, I am now ready to proudly showcase the Complete List of Failable Gigs and Side Jobs for Cyberpunk 2077

A Call To Action (PROVE ME WRONG!)

If anyone can prove to me that there is an error in these tables by uploading footage of their unmodified game in version 2.12 or later failing a gig or side job I do not have marked with a "yes" or "No, used to", I will test it out myself, and if I confirm it works, I will reward you $20. A "Job Failed: [name of job]" red popup must appear. I'm gonna limit this to 3 errors (as in 3 jobs I say you can't fail that you actually can). First 3 2 get the reward. One Prize Claimed for Second Conflict
Note: a fail screen when you enter the elevator or call Reed to trigger the end game does not count. Must be before triggering end game.
Note2: jobs with their "Yes's Bolded were recently updated since this post was made by commenters/additional testing. So far I’ve been wrong about 5 gigs/side jobs.

Note: list is sorted alphabetically by fixer name, then by tier (which gigs are released to you in which order), then by alphabetical name of gig, I think.

Misc. 0 Raymond Chandler Evening Yes Refuse to defend the corpo. Refuse to help Pepe twice. Get too close to the wife. Shoot your gun to make her run away.
Misc. 0 Sacrum Profanum/Losing My Religion Yes RUN AWAY or KILL MONK
Misc. 0 Send in the Clowns Yes Run away after picking up Ozob
Misc. 0 Stadium Love Yes Shoot up 6th Street goons before starting the mission
Misc. 0 The Prophet's Song Yes Run away after waiting
Nix 1 Spellbound No, used to? Agroing R3n0 and running away still doesn’t fail it. Maybe used to be failable?
Nix 2 KOLD MIRAGE No You’re locked into the room as soon as you put the deck down and can’t leave without saving him
Panam Palmer 1 Riders on the Storm Yes RUN AWAY When your outside of, or enroute to, the camp to save Saul. Leave for 24 hours
Panam Palmer 2 With a Little Help from My Friends Yes Run away from train station. Let some time pass.
Panam Palmer 3 Queen of the Highway No You cannot run away, the game will flip you around and send you back to where you came. Using a fast travel point will not fail it either, nor sleeping or time skipping.
Regina Jones 0 Psycho Killer No Running away mid-fight resets the cyberpsycho back to its spawn point.
Regina Jones 0 Machine Gun Yes, Sort of Fails during “The Killing Moon” when you turn in your weapons, but comes back when you get your weapons back. Does not fail during “Firestarter” or “Sweet Dreams” in 2.12. Before 2.12, if you fail to give Skippy back to Regina before starting a mission where all of your guns get taken, like “Automatic Love” or “Sweet Dreams” or “A Lack of Empathy”, then the mission supposedly fails. Sweet Dreams didn’t fail for me in v1.3, i kept the gun after waking up.
River Ward 1 The Hunt Yes Bail at pretty much any point during the quest, including refusing to stay overnight. If you bail as soon as you get to the farm, River will die. Best ending.
River Ward 2 Following the River No Running away and skipping time somehow doesn’t fail the quest, unlike Judy’s or Kerry’s final quests. Weird.
Robert Wilson 1 The Gun No
Robert Wilson 2 Shoot To Thrill No
Vehicles 0 Dressed to Kill No
Vehicles 0 I'm in Love with My Car No
Vehicles 0 Murk Man Returns Again Once More Forever No Car is invincible.
Vehicles 0 Sex On Wheels No
Vehicles 0 Shape of a Pony No
Viktor Vektor 1 Upgrade U No
Viktor Vektor 2 Paid in Full No
Zen Master 1 Imagine No
Zen Master 2 Stairway To Heaven No
Zen Master 3 Poem Of The Atoms No
Zen Master 4 Meetings Along The Edge No
Note: list is sorted alphabetically by who assigns you the job, then by the order it's assigned.
Note 2: as mentioned in this post, failing love interest missions results in some bizarre end game holo voicemails. Including Saul calling you despite being canonically dead, Panam being surprisingly chill with you despite hating your guts for abandoning her, and Judy saying you haven't talked in a while despite leaving Night City and blocking you.

2024.04.04 07:44 SteveW_MC The COMPLETE List of Failable Gigs and Side Jobs for Cyberpunk 2077 (v2.12)

It's finally here. After about 2 months of work, hundreds of hours play testing, at least 100 manual saves, 4 days worth of re-recording corrupted footage, asking countless questions on both Cyberpunk2077 subs, and a bunch of comments from people asking me if I'm ok, I am now ready to proudly showcase the Complete List of Failable Gigs and Side Jobs for Cyberpunk 2077

A Call To Action (PROVE ME WRONG!)

If anyone can prove to me that there is an error in these tables by uploading footage of their unmodified game in version 2.12 or later failing a gig or side job I do not have marked with a "yes" or "No, used to", I will test it out myself, and if I confirm it works, I will reward you $20. A "Job Failed: [name of job]" red popup must appear. I'm gonna limit this to 3 errors (as in 3 jobs I say you can't fail that you actually can). First 3 2 get the reward. One Prize Claimed for Second Conflict
Note: a fail screen when you enter the elevator or call Reed to trigger the end game does not count. Must be before triggering end game.
Note2: jobs with their "Yes's Bolded were recently updated since this post was made by commenters/additional testing. So far I’ve been wrong about 5 gigs/side jobs.

All Failable Base-Game Gigs

Gig Title Tier Fixer Failable? How?

See Full Video Here
Note: list is sorted alphabetically by fixer name, then by tier (which gigs are released to you in which order), then by alphabetical name of gig, I think.
Note 2: failing gigs does not affect your ability to get more gigs, nor does it lock you out of the final award. None of the final award gigs are failable.

All Failable Main Missions:

  1. (Don't) Fear the Reaper: Die

All Failable Base Game Side Jobs

Assigned By Order Side Job Name Failable? How?
Aldecaldos 1 I'll Fly Away Yes After completing “With a Little Help from my Friends”, begin “I’ll Fly Away”. Once you the Side Job starts, leave the camp or the canyon and skip time 24 hours. Panam will call for “Queen of the Highway”. This will fail “I’ll Fly Away”.
Aldecaldos 2 Gun Music Yes Agro the Scavs then run away.
Aldecaldos 3 Fortunate Son No, used to? Apparently you CANNOT fail it by running away or waiting too long. I suspect this was once failable before v2.12.

Claire Russell 1 The Beast in Me Yes Run away instead of talking to Claire and starting the race

2024.03.24 05:14 OShaunesssy I like to do dumb reports on wrestling books. I was told this sub may appreciate my Missy Hyatt report...

Short book written over 20 years ago, but it features a ton of stories from lesser known promotions in the 80s and some good dirt and gossip from the 90s.
As always, it's in chronological order. I hope you enjoy some of the stories...
Missy hilariously says she was born in "nineteen-sixty-none-of-your-buisness! John Kennedy was president, and that's all you need to know."
Missy says she was teased a lot in high school, but after getting on TV, those same people would approach her at Walmart trying to be friendly. Missy would pretend to not remember them and then offer to autograph the box of pampers they were buying. Two pages in, and it's clear that this woman is awesome.
Missy says she first tried bleaching her hair blonde when she was 15 years old, dumping literal laundry bleach all over her head. It didn't work out as she hoped.
Missy didn't grow up a wrestling fan, but randomly got hooked when she was 16, and her dad was channel surfing the TV. She made him stop on an episode of a Georgia Championship Wrestling and loved it so much that she knew she wanted to be part of that world.
She had a crush on Tommy Rich, and she made a note to say she was 18 when she attended her first wrestling show. Because she wound up going down on Tommy in his car after the show.
She says she went to every wrestling show for months until Dory Funk's girlfriend asked her to start selling programs, and that was her first in to the business.
Missy's first wrestler boyfriend was Jake Roberts, which, as you can imagine, was eventful. She said she was young and naive and didn't realize he was a coke head for the first few months, but eventually, she tried with him one night at a club.
Jake Roberts liked to send Missy into bars and wait for some guy to try and chat her up, just so Jake can march in and make a big show about scaring the guy off. Missy called it psycho.
Missy says Jake was trying to get her into the wrestling buisness and even pitched an angle where she could attack him, but it never happened because Jake was worried they would be seen together out in public and kill the town. She laughs at this because a month later, Jake broke up with her.
She says she didn't take the breakup well because a week later, she went and slept with Jake's best friend, Road Warrior Hawk. She also says she got a boob job after the breakup.
A year later, Missy met John Tatum before he worked for Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, and they started dating. She notes how John was a better golfer than wrestler and would have been more successful if we went into pro golf.
Missy and John moved in together when John got a job working for Fritz Von Erich in World Class Championship Wrestling.
Missy saw a magazine article saying WWF was looking for a valet to pair with Randy Savage, so she sent a picture and a note in. WWF booker George Scott actually called her, and they spoke on the phone about the possibility of Missy managing Savage but she never heard back. Savage was able to get his real life wife the gig, so she was never going to get it.
News of this got to Fritz Von Erich, though, and he called her into a meeting where he decided to pair her with John and his valet. When Fritz asked what she wanted to be called, she blurted out "Constance" and immediately regretted it. Her name was Melissa, and John called her Missy, which Fritz liked, so that was that. Missy Hyatt was almost named Constance.
Missy says her first paycheck from Fritz was for $50, and she was jacked because it was essentially for just 5 minutes of work. She still has the pay stub. Some nights, she would make $200, but her biggest payday for just 5 mins of work was $1200, apparently.
Missy says John couldn't cut promos, and when he talked, it sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles, so she was immediately cutting promos for the both of them. She was initially terrified but said she fell into being a character the second the camera came on.
Missy said she came up with all her ringside antics, like looking bored when a rest hold happened or literally turning her back and filing her nails when John was getting beat up. She said she would routinely insult the front row audience members and even have John take one of their chairs for her before the match for heat.
Valerie "Sunshine" French was the one who taught Missy how to work and brawl. Missy says the first night they did a roll around cat fight, Missy started to crack up and laugh. An irate Sunshine yelled at her backstage, saying next time she'll rip her hair out for real. Missy says they both started laughing at how absurd everything was.
Missy remembers one night when a little old lady smacked her in the back of the head with a purse. She also remembers one night when several fans jumped the rail and got on top of her. She said she covered up, and it took security about 10 seconds to clear them.
Missy says peanut butter works best when trying to get gum out of your hair.
Missy says backstage, John would have her sit in the corner facing the wall for a lot of times.
Missy thought "kayfabe" was a name the boys called her before John eventually explained it.
Missy says John made her do literally all the driving from town to town.
Missy says the weirdest rib she got was from Buddy Roberts of the Free Birds. He snuck into the shower while she was in there, climbed up on the ceiling, and tried to pee on her. She was mortified, but John just laughed and said the Free Birds pee on people they like, and she should be honored.
Missy says a lot of wrestlers don't like having valets because they usually take attention away from them and distract the audience too much during matches.
WCCW booker Ken Mantel left the Von Erich ran organization for Universal Wrestling Federation in 1986, and he was able to convince the Freebirds, John Tatum and Missy Hyatt to come along with him. Missy said she felt guilty leaving Fritz, who got her the first big break of her career, but Ken liked booking John and Missy, so they went where the work was. Bill Watts was in charge and signed both John and Missy to $50,000 a year deals.
Missy says she never got along with Bill Watts and suggests it's because his son Eric had a massive crush on her. Missy would leverage this crush, bet her eyes at him, and Eric would literally do her laundry. Bill probably hated how much of a simp his son turned into around her.
Before coming to UWF, Missy says she heard Lynda "Dark Journey" Newton was a coke head. She throws a lot of shade at Dark Journey, saying, "She had no experience - unless blowing Dick Slater counts as experience." Dick Slater was Dark Journey's one-time boyfriend who got her into the business.
Missy says Dark Journey cheated on Dick Slater with a young Steve "Sting" Borden. Alledgedly, Slater found out and beat the shit out of Sting in the locker room at a show. Missy says Sting took the beating because he knew he was caught and because Slater had connections and could have ruined Sting at that point, according to Missy. Slater left the UWF a week or 2 later.
Missy says Dark Journey didn't know how to work and would legitimately beat her up every night. Missy was the heel, so she usually got beat up, and with Dark Journey, Missy says she would just snap and shoot for real most of the time.
Missy says this happens to a lot of guys who get all amped up, hear the crowd, and just sorta go nuts on their opponents. She says she knew a few guys in ECW who wouldn't step in the ring with Taz.
Missy says in the 6 months she worked with Dark Journey, Dark Journey broke Missy's thumb, chipped 2 of her teeth, and ripped out so much hair that Missy had a bald spot. It's here in the book that Missy reiterates again that she heard Dark Journey was a coke head, but never asked her about it.
Eddie Gilbert was a manager and sometimes wrestler who would help out with booking ideas. He was the one to pair himself and Missy her backing John Tatum and Jack Victory, while Eddie would manage Sting and Steiner. Missy stresses that it was a professional pairing because both were in relationships at the time. But soon, the sexual tension they had would boil over on camera with even the announcers mentioning it.
Missy says her relationship with John deteriorated over time to the point where she would go out of her way to not be around him. Missy and Eddie Gilbert would start seeing each there, and Missy would leave John.
Despite the fact that she and John broke up, booker Ken Mantel insisted they work together still, and since her team was fueding with Eddie's team, Bill Watts said he would fine or fire both of them if the fans saw them together. So Eddie and Missy had to sneak around a lot.
Missy lived in an apartment complex where a ton of fans also lived, so Eddie would have to sneak over. One night, while cooking dinner, she tripped the smoke detector, and the building had to evacuate everyone. Everyone except Eddie, who hid in the closest, inhaling smoke the whole time.
Missy says John was very mean to her while they worked together after the break up, until Missy finally threatened to quit. So Ken Mantell was able to cook up an angle where Missy joined Eddie's team and betrayed John.
She said the heat she got from the fans for betraying John was wild, and the UWF had to hire extra security for her matches and appearances. One night, an old lady grabbed her, and after security wrestled her away, they apparently found a butcher knife on the woman. She was ready to kill Missy Hyatt of all people.
Jim Crockett purchased the UWF in 1987, and Ken Mantell quit his job as booker, so Eddie and Missy wanted to be safe and mailed photos to Vince McMahon and the WWF. Vince called Missy personally to invite her and Eddie to New York to talk. Eddie spent the whole plane ride talking all excitedly about being the next Roddy Piper and getting way too excited. When they landed, Vince made it clear that although he was happy to hire Eddie in whatever role Eddie wanted, Vince wanted Missy. He told her how she would host her own Pipers Pit type show and get her own "Missy doll" and how she would be a star.
Missy says Eddie was obviously hurt and upset by this, and on the plane ride home, Eddie told Missy to take Vince's offer, but Eddie would be staying in the UWF where he was already offered Ken Mantell's role as the new booker. Missy was sad and crying, but Eddie insisted she should "go get that doll."
Jim Crockett technically didn't take ownership of UWF for a few months, and Bill Watts hated Vince, so he refused to let Missy out of her contract. He tried lying and saying he owned the name Missy Hyatt (he didn't) and was refusing to let her go, despite the fact that he was literally selling his promotion. Missy called Vince, who put her on the phone with Vince's wife, Linda McMahon. Linda was a lawyer who explained to Missy that they would help her. Eventually, Vince called Jim Crockett, who talked to Bill Watts, who eventually let Missy out of her contract. But Bill fined her $500 for missing a couple of shows while dealing with this fiasco.
She said the situation taught her a valuable lesson about trademarks, because she went out immediately and trademarked her name so no one could fuck with her. Good for her for doing that before the WWF tried!
Hilariously, Missy says years later, she fucked Bill Watts son, Eric, and then made him do her laundry one last time. She then rhetorically asks "How do you like that, Cowboy?"
In her final appearance, Missy wrestled a 4 way over the top rope match with Sunshine, Dark Journey and one other girl. She wanted revenge on Dark Journey for being so stiff all those months, so she had Eddie Gilbert show her some simple stretches she could slap on Journey. Unfortunately though Missy couldn't execute them correctly, and when Sunshine noticed what she was doing, Sunshine moved to the spot where she eliminates Missy. On her way out, Missy kicked Dark Journey so hard that Missy broke one of her toes.
The first time Missy met NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol, she thought he was a limo driver and made him carry her luggage. When she asked Vince how much should I tip that guy, pointing at Ebersol, Vince had a good laugh, then introduced him to her with his full name. Missy still didn't know who he was and told Vince, "Yeah, he already introduced himself." Vince again had a good laugh at this. She said she didn't know who he was until a month later when she saw him in a newspaper.
Missy was at dinner with Vince when Dick Ebersol asked to be part of the next Wrestlemania. Later that night when they were away from Ebersol, Vince had a big laugh at how "everybody wants to be part of Wrestlemania, but we don't need him!"
The first time she hosted her talk show Missy's Manor, she didn't know her guest, Honky Tonk Man, wasn't miked and she was supposed to hold the mic infront of his face. Jimmy Hart was off to the side trying to get her attention until Honky Tonk Man just leaned forward and grabbed the mic from her.
She also may have made a mistake when she asked Honky Tonk Man why he never actually plays the guitar. I guess he looked at her, stunned for a few seconds, until a panicked Jimmy Hart jumped in and took over the interview. Missy was mortified that her first segment bombed.
After a few more bad interviews, Vince pulled the plug, but promised Missy they would find something else for her. She said she had ideas on how to improve the interview segments, but was too nervous to speak up.
Vince wanted her to do an angle with Honky Tonk Man, but didn't know where it would actually go past the initial confrontation. When Missy told her boyfriend Eddie Gilbert about this, he was dead set against her and Honky Tonk Man working together in any way. Missy says she never did find out the reason.
Vince had also wanted her to be one of those random girls that accompanied random wrestlers to the ring. Eddie talked her out of that too, saying Missy doesn't share the spotlight with other girls. Eventually Eddie convinced her to come back to the UWF, so after a 2 month stint in WWF, Missy quit because she loved Eddie and genuinely didn't like the stuff Vince had in mind after the talk show idea fell apart.
She says Vince was very sweet and understanding when she quit and told her she could call him up if she wanted to work for the WWF again. She says she did actually call him up, nearly a decade later in 1997, begging for a job. She says Vince also let her keep all the clothes they bought for her in the few months she worked for the WWF.
Missy says she wished she could rag on Vince, but the truth is that he was always very sweet to her and did give her an opportunity to be a star. The only gossip or dirt she had was that apparently you could always see the lines of his underwear through his pants, and that his shirt was always noticeably bunched up under his belt at the front of his pants. She said "That always skeeved me about Vince."
Missy says the first time she saw a Sable doll in a toy isle at WalMart, she freaked out and started throwing them around the isle until the manager kicked her out. She never got her Missy doll.
Jim Crockett busted her chops when she came back the UWF saying "aren't you that big WWF star?" They had a good laugh before Missy formally asked for her job back. Jim said of course and sent her to talk to Dusty Rhodes, who was over seeing creative/ booking.
Missy was paired alongside Jim Ross for commentary work. She said she liked it more than interviewing people and that Jim Ross would call the moves and do analysis, she was just required to be entertaining.
Missy and Eddie Gilbert got married durring a Halloween Party in 1988, and they didn't tell their guests. They threw a "Halloween" party, where they dressed up as a bride and groom, and halfway through a real legit Justice of the Peace shows up to officiate and all their friends and colleagues are stunned. She said it was actually video tapped and traded around amongst wrestling fans for years. She makes a note in the book that she would love a copy if anyone has one floating around.
Eddie Gilbert didn't like working under Dusty Rhodes as booker when the UWF was folded into the NWA. So when Jerry Lawler to book for United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, he said yes immediately. Of course Missy went with him.
Memphis was a step down though since it wasn't broadcast on cable and Missy said she started to become a bit of a prima donna in Memphis, due to her exposure in bigger promotions.
Missy talks about how Eddie Gilbert idolized Jerry Lawler, and says after several months of working for Lawler in USWA, she was able to convince Lawler to give her one of his crowns. She gave it to Eddie as a gift and she says he wore it all over the house and was like a kid on Christmas morning. She says there is a great picture of him smiling and wearing the crown, and that picture is now engraved on Eddie's Tombstone. I personally don't know a lot about Eddie Gilbert, but Missy does a wonderful job at endearing the reader towards him and their relationship.
Missy says Jerry Jarret and Jerry Lawler would tale turns booking Memphis, swapping out of the role every 6 months.
Missy call Jerry Jarrett a "piece of work" and says his face should be pictured next to the word "redneck." She says he would spit tobacco into a cup on his desk all the time and through meetings.
Missy says Eddie Gilbert was offered "head booker" position for Continental Wrestling Federation in Montgomery, Alabama and he immediately took it. Missy of course went with him but finished up in Memphis without Eddie for a couple weeks.
Missy recalls a night when Eddie was working out of town and she was at home Eddie returned the next day without his wallet or wedding ring, but he had a "story" he told about how he left that stuff in the hotel room, and went out to eat. When he came back, his wallet and ring were gone. Missy questioned why he would leave to eat without his wallet, and she knew his routine. If he took his ring off, he also took his Rolex off and stored everything in a fanny pack. The story didn't add up and Missy couldn't let it go.
Missy called around to wrestlers wives asking if they hear any stories, and while no one had anything on Eddie, she did hear about Sid Vicious getting robbed in the same town. Apparently, Sid met a girl and took her back to his hotel room, but somewhere along the way, the girl spiked his drink. By the time they got to the hotel room, Sid was woozy and passed out, allowing this girl to rob him blind. Missy figures the same thing happened to Eddie, that he took off his wedding ring to pick up a girl and got drugged and ripped off. She never confronted him about it, but didn't let it go either.
A month later Missy says she cheated on Eddie with Dr Tom Pritchard. They were working a program together and both very attracted to one another. After a show one night the two had sex in a car parked outside the venue, as fans and other wrestlers walked by and saw the rocking car and foggy windows. Everyone in the organization knew, so of course Eddie knew. Just like Missy never confronted Eddie on his infidelity, Eddie never confronted her either. They were both just silent and angry and hurt.
When Crockett Promotion was bought and turned into WCW, Dusty Rhodes reached back out to Eddie, wanting him on the booking team to go head to head with the WWF. Again Eddie said yes, so he and Missy were headed back to Georgia. Missy and Eddie would end up each getting 2 year contracts with WCW.
Missy says Kevin Sullivan hated Eddie Gilbert and would routinely undermine him on the booking committee and ensure his idea's got rejected.
Missy says it would be a waste to talk about Kevin Sullivan, so she just tells a funny story about running into his wife Nancy (the future Nancy Benoit) after Nancy and Kevin split up. Missy made a comment to Nancy about how good she looks and Nancy attributed that to no longer being with Kevin. Missy then told Nancy that when Kevin Sullivan dies, Missy wants to dance on his grave. Apparently, Nancy responded with "That's going to be a long conga line."
Missy remembers the first time she met Ted Turner, apparently he asked to meet her because people were waving Jim over to her saying "she's over here!" Missy reached her hand out to shake his, but Ted wrapped his arms around her waste, pulled her in close and said "Baby, wanna mud wrestle?" Then he grabbed her ass. Yikes. She called him a redneck and noted how this was while Ted was single, but still calls it gross.
Missy calls Ric Flair a "big perv" who creeped her out on a regular basis. He would talk about pubic hair all the time and told people he wouldn't sleep with a woman who shaves down there. He had a saying, "No hair, no Flair."
Missy says she and others used to play a drinking game while watching Lex Kuger wrestle. They would take a drink anytime Lex touches his crotch while wrestling. She says Lex would routinely adjust himself in the ring and they would drink themselves under the table very quickly with this game.
Miss says their marriage never recovered from the cheating and Eddie was miserable in WCW where none of his booking ideas got off the ground. One time Eddie thought he was going to join the Four Horseman before that plan fell through as well, and Missy suspects Kevin Sullivan had something to do there.
Missy says in the summer of 1989, Eddie left her. He moved out of town, quit his job and just left. They had 2 dogs, Missy kept one and Eddie took the other. She was caught off guard by how calm and relaxed Eddie was while finally leaving her.
Missy met Mark "Buff" Bagwell at an apartment complex she was looking at moving into. She is the one who told him he should get into wrestling, and we can all thank Missy Hyatt for exposing the world to Buff Bagwell. She moved in next door to him and was kinda bummed to find he had a girlfriend, and really irritated at how thin the walls of the apartment complex were.
Missy says Jim Ross set her up with a football player for the Atlanta Falcons named Bill Fralic and a month later, Eddie sent her divorce papers.
Eddie would randomly show up at her apartment complex early one morning. He hopped the gate and rushed the house, angry that Missy was seeing someone else. He apparently knocked over Bagwell's BBQ grill, thinking it was the new boyfriends. Eddie then stormed into the house yelling "where is he!?" But Bill Fraloc was almost a foot taller than Eddie and over 70 pounds bigger, so when Bill woke up and came out asking "do we have a problem?" A deflated Eddie actually said "No, your the football player right? I'm a big fan." Eddie and Bill talked for a bit before they shook hands and Eddie left.
Missy says she and Bill broke up a month or 2 later, but that started her "football player kick" where she dated a dozen or so NFL players over the next couple years.
Missy dated "The Wonder Years" star Jason Hervey for 2 years and calls him the best boyfriend she ever had. He was 18 and she was 26, he was about 4 inches shorter than her, but she seemed to genuinely love the time they spent together.
Missy remembers how the wrestlers in WCW would all make fun of Jason Hervey behind his back, but then all suck up to him in person and try to get a spot on The Wonder Years. She says Eric Bichsoff was the worst because he hounded Jason everytime he was backstage at a show.
Missy cheated on Jason with a hockey player Rod Brind'Amour, who presently coaches the Carolina Hurricanes. She said he was ripped, but she had to mentally put a bag over his head because of how messed up his face was from playing hockey. She confessed to Jason a week later, and they broke up.
Missy says Jason was only 21 when they broke up and handled it as badly as you expect a 21 year old kid to react. After Eddie Gilbert, she wasn't ready for how emotional Jason got, but he eventually promised to ship all her belongings back to her home. When she got them, she found he had peed on every single box. He was very very 21 years old.
Missy says football player Jim Kelly and her flirted a ton, so when she was single she started teaching out to him. Jim Kelly played for the Buffalo Bills and they were set to compete in the Superbowl for the 4th year in a row and prefaced the next story by saying Jim was under a lot of stress. After their first date, Missy took him home and they started making out on the bed, before he started to shudder and said "Oh excuse me." He came in his pants, and they were just kissing. Missy says she found it was kinda sweet but he was annoyed. She doesn't say it outright but you could tell after all the flirting that she was disappointed. She makes a joke saying "No wonder the Bills never won the superbowl in those 4 years they made it." And then she said "Sorry Jim."
To Missy's credit, she calls herself a bitch a lot throughout the book and doesn't hold back on her opinions or the truth.
Missy says Eric Bishoff was pissed when she broke up with Jason, and punished her by pairing her with the Nasty Boys as their manager. Missy said at the time she suggested working with Steve Austin and Brian Pilman, thinking the Hollywood Blondes would fit will with her gimmick and look. She didn't have anything in common with The Nasty Boys though and they didn't match looks.
Missy was shocked when The Nasty Boys won the tag titles, and figures that was done because Dusty Rhodes sister-in-law was married to Jerry Sags of the Nasty Boys.
Missy says Biahoff gave her zero mic or interview time, no bits before, during or after matches, told the camera men not to shoot her and the broadcasters now to mention her.
During a PPV match, Sags got hurt, so Missy had to jump in the ring and cause the planned DQ finish. During the scuffle, hee left boob popped out in a wardrobe malfunction. A month later, Missy and Nasty Boys went to the CNN Center to pose for pictures, and outside the door to thr photography studio, there was a picture of her, with her boob hanging out, posted on the bulletin board! She was livid, snatched the photo, marched to Eric Bichoff and demanded to know who was responsible. Bishoff never got back to her, so she found someone above Bishoff, a vice president with the Turner Organization that she brought the issue to. The next day, Bishoff fired her.
Missy sued Bishoff and WCW, but it was initially over merchandising money she wasn't paid in the past couple years. She had a ton of examples of merchandise she moved and was never paid for. When she told her lawyer about the picture of her exposed boob posted in the Turner offices, the lawyer added in sexual harassment. Missy says that's when shit hit the fan.
She isn't allowed to talk about the lawsuit, legally, so all she says is "The litigation was concluded, after approximately 18 months, in December 1996, and I am very pleased with the outcome." Missy got the bag it would seem.
Missy was more or less black balled from most wrestling promotions after WCW fired her and she sued them. She spent a month indulging in pills and depression before moving to New York where, thanks to her and Eddie Gilbert's old friend Paul Heyman, she got a job as a bartender.
One night, while working at the bar, Paul Heyman called Missy, to tell her Eddie Gilbert had passed away. He wrestled a match in Puerto Rico, and then had a heart attack in his sleep and never woke up.
Missy says Eddie's dad never liked her and blamed her for all Eddie's issues after they divorced. He even blamed Missy when Eddie married Medusa for 10 minutes shortly after Eddie and Missy broke up. Missy decided she shouldn't go to the funeral if it will make her father uncomfortable. She found a picture of the 2 dogs her and Eddie had, and wrote a poem on the back of it before mailing it to Eddie's mom, along with a big flower display. The picture and poem were placed inside the casket and Missy heard her flowers were front and center. She says it was a packed house for his funeral, standing room only. She calls it "Eddie's last show, and he sold out the house."
Missy says 6 months later she had lunch with Eddie's mom and visited his grave where she was finally able to pay proper respect to the man she loved.
She makes a point here that Missy and Melissa (her real name) share a lot in common, but it wasn't Missy who married Eddie, it was Melissa. Missy didn't mourn him, Melissa did. She said the love she had for him had nothing to do with the work they did or the angles they had, it was a real connection between two people. She finishes by saying "Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert didn't die, my ex-husband did. And it hurt."
When her lawsuit with WCW finally wrapped, she was able to work in the wrestling buisness again, so Paul Heyman immediately hired her in early 1997 in ECW.
Missy was paired with Sandman and notes how some guys didn't like to work with him because he was at least half drunk all the time and had bad body oder.
Missy says Sandman's wife accused Missy of sleeping with Sandman and even hit her with a boot once. But Missy maintains nothing happened between them and I believe her. She mentions damn near everyone she slept with in this book, from Road Warrior Hawk to Raven to a bunch of football and hockey players. She said one time while driving past a cemetery, Sandman asked her of she ever had sex on a grave and she thinks (hopes) he was only joking. That's the most sexual their conversations ever got.
Missy has nothing but good things to say about Francine in ECW, but nothing but bad things to say about Beulah. She calls Beulah a bitch and tells a story about how difficult she was when Missy wanted to shoot a calendar with the women of ECW. She makes fun of Beulah for her early days appearing an adult magazine called Cheri. Missy says Cheri made Hustler look like Reader's Digest. She does note how Beulah was quick to leave the wrestling buisness shortly after Missy got there, and tried excusing her poor attitude as someone who was looking to put wrestling behind them.
One time in the ring with Dreamer, Sandman, Beulah and another girl named Kimona, Missy got pissed when Beulah and Kimona started making out and getting all the attention. She told Sandman to pour one of his beers down the front of her chest and she says no one was looking at those 2 girls again. She finishes the story by saying "No one upstaged Missy."
Sandman's wife legit broke Missy's elbow when they were supposed to have one of those dumb cat fights. At some point Sandman's wife grabbed hold of a kendo stick and swung it as hard as possible, catching Missy in the arm and breaking her elbow. Missy says it happened because Sandman's wife was paranoid about Sandman cheating on her and took offence to some shit Missy said in a working promo.
Missy was done working like that in ECW and asked Paul Heyman if she could announce alongside Joey Styles, when he said no, she quit ECW.
She briefly worked as an announcer for the short lived American Wrestling Federation, but that promotion made no money ever and quickly shut its doors.
Missy mentions a couple relationships and flings in the book, but one of the last ones is a hookup with Val Venis. She calls it "the shortest, lamest sex I've ever had. Talk about a guys gimmick not being him!"
Missy was done with the wrestling buisness after a decade and half, and says she spent a year earning her medical technician certificate, and got a job prepping movie stars and models for boob jobs. Good for her!
The book ends with her saying she is working on her bachelor's degree with a major in psychology and a minor in political science. She was still doing the odd indi shows but hardly gets recognized on the streets anymore. This book was published in 2001 so she would have written it before then, probably in 2000.
Looking her up online she did graduate with a degree in Psychology! She did a few random indi appearances and one TNA appearance a couple years ago, but that's it.
The book ends with her listing her top 10 wrestling regrets...
Never worked a Wrestlemania for WWF.
Never got to tell Eddie Gilbert how much she admired him and how much he taught her.
Never kicked Sandman's wife's ass. She is dead serious, as of writing the book you can tell she really really wanted to.
Never slept with Sweet Stan Lane.
Never somersaulted backwards off the top rope.
Never got a tongue lashing from Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Never gave Sunshine enough credit for showing me how to catfight.
Never lewinskied Jesse Ventura.
Never studied psychology while active in the buisness.
Never got that Missy Doll.
This was a fun, and short read. Not a lot of research done on her behalf, it was all done from memory so she rarely mentioned what year the stories were taking place in and she talked a lot about hooking up with wrestlers, unafraid of naming them. I'd love to know how much she made off the WCW lawsuit though.

2024.03.24 02:13 OShaunesssy Book report guy back again, I just read the Missy Hyatt book from 2001. Its got some good dirt and fun stories...

Short book written over 20 years ago, but it features a ton of stories from lesser known promotions in the 80s and some good dirt and gossip from the 90s.
As always, it's in chronological order. I hope you enjoy some of the stories...
Missy hilariously says she was born in "nineteen-sixty-none-of-your-buisness! John Kennedy was president, and that's all you need to know."
Missy says she was teased a lot in high school, but after getting on TV, those same people would approach her at Walmart trying to be friendly. Missy would pretend to not remember them and then offer to autograph the box of pampers they were buying. Two pages in, and it's clear that this woman is awesome.
Missy says she first tried bleaching her hair blonde when she was 15 years old, dumping literal laundry bleach all over her head. It didn't work out as she hoped.
Missy didn't grow up a wrestling fan, but randomly got hooked when she was 16, and her dad was channel surfing the TV. She made him stop on an episode of a Georgia Championship Wrestling and loved it so much that she knew she wanted to be part of that world.
She had a crush on Tommy Rich, and she made a note to say she was 18 when she attended her first wrestling show. Because she wound up going down on Tommy in his car after the show.
She says she went to every wrestling show for months until Dory Funk's girlfriend asked her to start selling programs, and that was her first in to the business.
Missy's first wrestler boyfriend was Jake Roberts, which, as you can imagine, was eventful. She said she was young and naive and didn't realize he was a coke head for the first few months, but eventually, she tried with him one night at a club.
Jake Roberts liked to send Missy into bars and wait for some guy to try and chat her up, just so Jake can march in and make a big show about scaring the guy off. Missy called it psycho.
Missy says Jake was trying to get her into the wrestling buisness and even pitched an angle where she could attack him, but it never happened because Jake was worried they would be seen together out in public and kill the town. She laughs at this because a month later, Jake broke up with her.
She says she didn't take the breakup well because a week later, she went and slept with Jake's best friend, Road Warrior Hawk. She also says she got a boob job after the breakup.
A year later, Missy met John Tatum before he worked for Mid-Atlantic Wrestling, and they started dating. She notes how John was a better golfer than wrestler and would have been more successful if we went into pro golf.
Missy and John moved in together when John got a job working for Fritz Von Erich in World Class Championship Wrestling.
Missy saw a magazine article saying WWF was looking for a valet to pair with Randy Savage, so she sent a picture and a note in. WWF booker George Scott actually called her, and they spoke on the phone about the possibility of Missy managing Savage but she never heard back. Savage was able to get his real life wife the gig, so she was never going to get it.
News of this got to Fritz Von Erich, though, and he called her into a meeting where he decided to pair her with John and his valet. When Fritz asked what she wanted to be called, she blurted out "Constance" and immediately regretted it. Her name was Melissa, and John called her Missy, which Fritz liked, so that was that. Missy Hyatt was almost named Constance.
Missy says her first paycheck from Fritz was for $50, and she was jacked because it was essentially for just 5 minutes of work. She still has the pay stub. Some nights, she would make $200, but her biggest payday for just 5 mins of work was $1200, apparently.
Missy says John couldn't cut promos, and when he talked, it sounded like he had a mouth full of marbles, so she was immediately cutting promos for the both of them. She was initially terrified but said she fell into being a character the second the camera came on.
Missy said she came up with all her ringside antics, like looking bored when a rest hold happened or literally turning her back and filing her nails when John was getting beat up. She said she would routinely insult the front row audience members and even have John take one of their chairs for her before the match for heat.
Valerie "Sunshine" French was the one who taught Missy how to work and brawl. Missy says the first night they did a roll around cat fight, Missy started to crack up and laugh. An irate Sunshine yelled at her backstage, saying next time she'll rip her hair out for real. Missy says they both started laughing at how absurd everything was.
Missy remembers one night when a little old lady smacked her in the back of the head with a purse. She also remembers one night when several fans jumped the rail and got on top of her. She said she covered up, and it took security about 10 seconds to clear them.
Missy says peanut butter works best when trying to get gum out of your hair.
Missy says backstage, John would have her sit in the corner facing the wall for a lot of times.
Missy thought "kayfabe" was a name the boys called her before John eventually explained it.
Missy says John made her do literally all the driving from town to town.
Missy says the weirdest rib she got was from Buddy Roberts of the Free Birds. He snuck into the shower while she was in there, climbed up on the ceiling, and tried to pee on her. She was mortified, but John just laughed and said the Free Birds pee on people they like, and she should be honored.
Missy says a lot of wrestlers don't like having valets because they usually take attention away from them and distract the audience too much during matches.
WCCW booker Ken Mantel left the Von Erich ran organization for Universal Wrestling Federation in 1986, and he was able to convince the Freebirds, John Tatum and Missy Hyatt to come along with him. Missy said she felt guilty leaving Fritz, who got her the first big break of her career, but Ken liked booking John and Missy, so they went where the work was. Bill Watts was in charge and signed both John and Missy to $50,000 a year deals.
Missy says she never got along with Bill Watts and suggests it's because his son Eric had a massive crush on her. Missy would leverage this crush, bet her eyes at him, and Eric would literally do her laundry. Bill probably hated how much of a simp his son turned into around her.
Before coming to UWF, Missy says she heard Lynda "Dark Journey" Newton was a coke head. She throws a lot of shade at Dark Journey, saying, "She had no experience - unless blowing Dick Slater counts as experience." Dick Slater was Dark Journey's one-time boyfriend who got her into the business.
Missy says Dark Journey cheated on Dick Slater with a young Steve "Sting" Borden. Alledgedly, Slater found out and beat the shit out of Sting in the locker room at a show. Missy says Sting took the beating because he knew he was caught and because Slater had connections and could have ruined Sting at that point, according to Missy. Slater left the UWF a week or 2 later.
Missy says Dark Journey didn't know how to work and would legitimately beat her up every night. Missy was the heel, so she usually got beat up, and with Dark Journey, Missy says she would just snap and shoot for real most of the time.
Missy says this happens to a lot of guys who get all amped up, hear the crowd, and just sorta go nuts on their opponents. She says she knew a few guys in ECW who wouldn't step in the ring with Taz.
Missy says in the 6 months she worked with Dark Journey, Dark Journey broke Missy's thumb, chipped 2 of her teeth, and ripped out so much hair that Missy had a bald spot. It's here in the book that Missy reiterates again that she heard Dark Journey was a coke head, but never asked her about it.
Eddie Gilbert was a manager and sometimes wrestler who would help out with booking ideas. He was the one to pair himself and Missy her backing John Tatum and Jack Victory, while Eddie would manage Sting and Steiner. Missy stresses that it was a professional pairing because both were in relationships at the time. But soon, the sexual tension they had would boil over on camera with even the announcers mentioning it.
Missy says her relationship with John deteriorated over time to the point where she would go out of her way to not be around him. Missy and Eddie Gilbert would start seeing each there, and Missy would leave John.
Despite the fact that she and John broke up, booker Ken Mantel insisted they work together still, and since her team was fueding with Eddie's team, Bill Watts said he would fine or fire both of them if the fans saw them together. So Eddie and Missy had to sneak around a lot.
Missy lived in an apartment complex where a ton of fans also lived, so Eddie would have to sneak over. One night, while cooking dinner, she tripped the smoke detector, and the building had to evacuate everyone. Everyone except Eddie, who hid in the closest, inhaling smoke the whole time.
Missy says John was very mean to her while they worked together after the break up, until Missy finally threatened to quit. So Ken Mantell was able to cook up an angle where Missy joined Eddie's team and betrayed John.
She said the heat she got from the fans for betraying John was wild, and the UWF had to hire extra security for her matches and appearances. One night, an old lady grabbed her, and after security wrestled her away, they apparently found a butcher knife on the woman. She was ready to kill Missy Hyatt of all people.
Jim Crockett purchased the UWF in 1987, and Ken Mantell quit his job as booker, so Eddie and Missy wanted to be safe and mailed photos to Vince McMahon and the WWF. Vince called Missy personally to invite her and Eddie to New York to talk. Eddie spent the whole plane ride talking all excitedly about being the next Roddy Piper and getting way too excited. When they landed, Vince made it clear that although he was happy to hire Eddie in whatever role Eddie wanted, Vince wanted Missy. He told her how she would host her own Pipers Pit type show and get her own "Missy doll" and how she would be a star.
Missy says Eddie was obviously hurt and upset by this, and on the plane ride home, Eddie told Missy to take Vince's offer, but Eddie would be staying in the UWF where he was already offered Ken Mantell's role as the new booker. Missy was sad and crying, but Eddie insisted she should "go get that doll."
Jim Crockett technically didn't take ownership of UWF for a few months, and Bill Watts hated Vince, so he refused to let Missy out of her contract. He tried lying and saying he owned the name Missy Hyatt (he didn't) and was refusing to let her go, despite the fact that he was literally selling his promotion. Missy called Vince, who put her on the phone with Vince's wife, Linda McMahon. Linda was a lawyer who explained to Missy that they would help her. Eventually, Vince called Jim Crockett, who talked to Bill Watts, who eventually let Missy out of her contract. But Bill fined her $500 for missing a couple of shows while dealing with this fiasco.
She said the situation taught her a valuable lesson about trademarks, because she went out immediately and trademarked her name so no one could fuck with her. Good for her for doing that before the WWF tried!
Hilariously, Missy says years later, she fucked Bill Watts son, Eric, and then made him do her laundry one last time. She then rhetorically asks "How do you like that, Cowboy?"
In her final appearance, Missy wrestled a 4 way over the top rope match with Sunshine, Dark Journey and one other girl. She wanted revenge on Dark Journey for being so stiff all those months, so she had Eddie Gilbert show her some simple stretches she could slap on Journey. Unfortunately though Missy couldn't execute them correctly, and when Sunshine noticed what she was doing, Sunshine moved to the spot where she eliminates Missy. On her way out, Missy kicked Dark Journey so hard that Missy broke one of her toes.
The first time Missy met NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol, she thought he was a limo driver and made him carry her luggage. When she asked Vince how much should I tip that guy, pointing at Ebersol, Vince had a good laugh, then introduced him to her with his full name. Missy still didn't know who he was and told Vince, "Yeah, he already introduced himself." Vince again had a good laugh at this. She said she didn't know who he was until a month later when she saw him in a newspaper.
Missy was at dinner with Vince when Dick Ebersol asked to be part of the next Wrestlemania. Later that night when they were away from Ebersol, Vince had a big laugh at how "everybody wants to be part of Wrestlemania, but we don't need him!"
The first time she hosted her talk show Missy's Manor, she didn't know her guest, Honky Tonk Man, wasn't miked and she was supposed to hold the mic infront of his face. Jimmy Hart was off to the side trying to get her attention until Honky Tonk Man just leaned forward and grabbed the mic from her.
She also may have made a mistake when she asked Honky Tonk Man why he never actually plays the guitar. I guess he looked at her, stunned for a few seconds, until a panicked Jimmy Hart jumped in and took over the interview. Missy was mortified that her first segment bombed.
After a few more bad interviews, Vince pulled the plug, but promised Missy they would find something else for her. She said she had ideas on how to improve the interview segments, but was too nervous to speak up.
Vince wanted her to do an angle with Honky Tonk Man, but didn't know where it would actually go past the initial confrontation. When Missy told her boyfriend Eddie Gilbert about this, he was dead set against her and Honky Tonk Man working together in any way. Missy says she never did find out the reason.
Vince had also wanted her to be one of those random girls that accompanied random wrestlers to the ring. Eddie talked her out of that too, saying Missy doesn't share the spotlight with other girls. Eventually Eddie convinced her to come back to the UWF, so after a 2 month stint in WWF, Missy quit because she loved Eddie and genuinely didn't like the stuff Vince had in mind after the talk show idea fell apart.
She says Vince was very sweet and understanding when she quit and told her she could call him up if she wanted to work for the WWF again. She says she did actually call him up, nearly a decade later in 1997, begging for a job. She says Vince also let her keep all the clothes they bought for her in the few months she worked for the WWF.
Missy says she wished she could rag on Vince, but the truth is that he was always very sweet to her and did give her an opportunity to be a star. The only gossip or dirt she had was that apparently you could always see the lines of his underwear through his pants, and that his shirt was always noticeably bunched up under his belt at the front of his pants. She said "That always skeeved me about Vince."
Missy says the first time she saw a Sable doll in a toy isle at WalMart, she freaked out and started throwing them around the isle until the manager kicked her out. She never got her Missy doll.
Jim Crockett busted her chops when she came back the UWF saying "aren't you that big WWF star?" They had a good laugh before Missy formally asked for her job back. Jim said of course and sent her to talk to Dusty Rhodes, who was over seeing creative/ booking.
Missy was paired alongside Jim Ross for commentary work. She said she liked it more than interviewing people and that Jim Ross would call the moves and do analysis, she was just required to be entertaining.
Missy and Eddie Gilbert got married durring a Halloween Party in 1988, and they didn't tell their guests. They threw a "Halloween" party, where they dressed up as a bride and groom, and halfway through a real legit Justice of the Peace shows up to officiate and all their friends and colleagues are stunned. She said it was actually video tapped and traded around amongst wrestling fans for years. She makes a note in the book that she would love a copy if anyone has one floating around.
Eddie Gilbert didn't like working under Dusty Rhodes as booker when the UWF was folded into the NWA. So when Jerry Lawler to book for United States Wrestling Association in Memphis, he said yes immediately. Of course Missy went with him.
Memphis was a step down though since it wasn't broadcast on cable and Missy said she started to become a bit of a prima donna in Memphis, due to her exposure in bigger promotions.
Missy talks about how Eddie Gilbert idolized Jerry Lawler, and says after several months of working for Lawler in USWA, she was able to convince Lawler to give her one of his crowns. She gave it to Eddie as a gift and she says he wore it all over the house and was like a kid on Christmas morning. She says there is a great picture of him smiling and wearing the crown, and that picture is now engraved on Eddie's Tombstone. I personally don't know a lot about Eddie Gilbert, but Missy does a wonderful job at endearing the reader towards him and their relationship.
Missy says Jerry Jarret and Jerry Lawler would tale turns booking Memphis, swapping out of the role every 6 months.
Missy call Jerry Jarrett a "piece of work" and says his face should be pictured next to the word "redneck." She says he would spit tobacco into a cup on his desk all the time and through meetings.
Missy says Eddie Gilbert was offered "head booker" position for Continental Wrestling Federation in Montgomery, Alabama and he immediately took it. Missy of course went with him but finished up in Memphis without Eddie for a couple weeks.
Missy recalls a night when Eddie was working out of town and she was at home Eddie returned the next day without his wallet or wedding ring, but he had a "story" he told about how he left that stuff in the hotel room, and went out to eat. When he came back, his wallet and ring were gone. Missy questioned why he would leave to eat without his wallet, and she knew his routine. If he took his ring off, he also took his Rolex off and stored everything in a fanny pack. The story didn't add up and Missy couldn't let it go.
Missy called around to wrestlers wives asking if they hear any stories, and while no one had anything on Eddie, she did hear about Sid Vicious getting robbed in the same town. Apparently, Sid met a girl and took her back to his hotel room, but somewhere along the way, the girl spiked his drink. By the time they got to the hotel room, Sid was woozy and passed out, allowing this girl to rob him blind. Missy figures the same thing happened to Eddie, that he took off his wedding ring to pick up a girl and got drugged and ripped off. She never confronted him about it, but didn't let it go either.
A month later Missy says she cheated on Eddie with Dr Tom Pritchard. They were working a program together and both very attracted to one another. After a show one night the two had sex in a car parked outside the venue, as fans and other wrestlers walked by and saw the rocking car and foggy windows. Everyone in the organization knew, so of course Eddie knew. Just like Missy never confronted Eddie on his infidelity, Eddie never confronted her either. They were both just silent and angry and hurt.
When Crockett Promotion was bought and turned into WCW, Dusty Rhodes reached back out to Eddie, wanting him on the booking team to go head to head with the WWF. Again Eddie said yes, so he and Missy were headed back to Georgia. Missy and Eddie would end up each getting 2 year contracts with WCW.
Missy says Kevin Sullivan hated Eddie Gilbert and would routinely undermine him on the booking committee and ensure his idea's got rejected.
Missy says it would be a waste to talk about Kevin Sullivan, so she just tells a funny story about running into his wife Nancy (the future Nancy Benoit) after Nancy and Kevin split up. Missy made a comment to Nancy about how good she looks and Nancy attributed that to no longer being with Kevin. Missy then told Nancy that when Kevin Sullivan dies, Missy wants to dance on his grave. Apparently, Nancy responded with "That's going to be a long conga line."
Missy remembers the first time she met Ted Turner, apparently he asked to meet her because people were waving Jim over to her saying "she's over here!" Missy reached her hand out to shake his, but Ted wrapped his arms around her waste, pulled her in close and said "Baby, wanna mud wrestle?" Then he grabbed her ass. Yikes. She called him a redneck and noted how this was while Ted was single, but still calls it gross.
Missy calls Ric Flair a "big perv" who creeped her out on a regular basis. He would talk about pubic hair all the time and told people he wouldn't sleep with a woman who shaves down there. He had a saying, "No hair, no Flair."
Missy says she and others used to play a drinking game while watching Lex Kuger wrestle. They would take a drink anytime Lex touches his crotch while wrestling. She says Lex would routinely adjust himself in the ring and they would drink themselves under the table very quickly with this game.
Miss says their marriage never recovered from the cheating and Eddie was miserable in WCW where none of his booking ideas got off the ground. One time Eddie thought he was going to join the Four Horseman before that plan fell through as well, and Missy suspects Kevin Sullivan had something to do there.
Missy says in the summer of 1989, Eddie left her. He moved out of town, quit his job and just left. They had 2 dogs, Missy kept one and Eddie took the other. She was caught off guard by how calm and relaxed Eddie was while finally leaving her.
Missy met Mark "Buff" Bagwell at an apartment complex she was looking at moving into. She is the one who told him he should get into wrestling, and we can all thank Missy Hyatt for exposing the world to Buff Bagwell. She moved in next door to him and was kinda bummed to find he had a girlfriend, and really irritated at how thin the walls of the apartment complex were.
Missy says Jim Ross set her up with a football player for the Atlanta Falcons named Bill Fralic and a month later, Eddie sent her divorce papers.
Eddie would randomly show up at her apartment complex early one morning. He hopped the gate and rushed the house, angry that Missy was seeing someone else. He apparently knocked over Bagwell's BBQ grill, thinking it was the new boyfriends. Eddie then stormed into the house yelling "where is he!?" But Bill Fraloc was almost a foot taller than Eddie and over 70 pounds bigger, so when Bill woke up and came out asking "do we have a problem?" A deflated Eddie actually said "No, your the football player right? I'm a big fan." Eddie and Bill talked for a bit before they shook hands and Eddie left.
Missy says she and Bill broke up a month or 2 later, but that started her "football player kick" where she dated a dozen or so NFL players over the next couple years.
Missy dated "The Wonder Years" star Jason Hervey for 2 years and calls him the best boyfriend she ever had. He was 18 and she was 26, he was about 4 inches shorter than her, but she seemed to genuinely love the time they spent together.
Missy remembers how the wrestlers in WCW would all make fun of Jason Hervey behind his back, but then all suck up to him in person and try to get a spot on The Wonder Years. She says Eric Bichsoff was the worst because he hounded Jason everytime he was backstage at a show.
Missy cheated on Jason with a hockey player Rod Brind'Amour, who presently coaches the Carolina Hurricanes. She said he was ripped, but she had to mentally put a bag over his head because of how messed up his face was from playing hockey. She confessed to Jason a week later, and they broke up.
Missy says Jason was only 21 when they broke up and handled it as badly as you expect a 21 year old kid to react. After Eddie Gilbert, she wasn't ready for how emotional Jason got, but he eventually promised to ship all her belongings back to her home. When she got them, she found he had peed on every single box. He was very very 21 years old.
Missy says football player Jim Kelly and her flirted a ton, so when she was single she started teaching out to him. Jim Kelly played for the Buffalo Bills and they were set to compete in the Superbowl for the 4th year in a row and prefaced the next story by saying Jim was under a lot of stress. After their first date, Missy took him home and they started making out on the bed, before he started to shudder and said "Oh excuse me." He came in his pants, and they were just kissing. Missy says she found it was kinda sweet but he was annoyed. She doesn't say it outright but you could tell after all the flirting that she was disappointed. She makes a joke saying "No wonder the Bills never won the superbowl in those 4 years they made it." And then she said "Sorry Jim."
To Missy's credit, she calls herself a bitch a lot throughout the book and doesn't hold back on her opinions or the truth.
Missy says Eric Bishoff was pissed when she broke up with Jason, and punished her by pairing her with the Nasty Boys as their manager. Missy said at the time she suggested working with Steve Austin and Brian Pilman, thinking the Hollywood Blondes would fit will with her gimmick and look. She didn't have anything in common with The Nasty Boys though and they didn't match looks.
Missy was shocked when The Nasty Boys won the tag titles, and figures that was done because Dusty Rhodes sister-in-law was married to Jerry Sags of the Nasty Boys.
Missy says Biahoff gave her zero mic or interview time, no bits before, during or after matches, told the camera men not to shoot her and the broadcasters now to mention her.
During a PPV match, Sags got hurt, so Missy had to jump in the ring and cause the planned DQ finish. During the scuffle, hee left boob popped out in a wardrobe malfunction. A month later, Missy and Nasty Boys went to the CNN Center to pose for pictures, and outside the door to thr photography studio, there was a picture of her, with her boob hanging out, posted on the bulletin board! She was livid, snatched the photo, marched to Eric Bichoff and demanded to know who was responsible. Bishoff never got back to her, so she found someone above Bishoff, a vice president with the Turner Organization that she brought the issue to. The next day, Bishoff fired her.
Missy sued Bishoff and WCW, but it was initially over merchandising money she wasn't paid in the past couple years. She had a ton of examples of merchandise she moved and was never paid for. When she told her lawyer about the picture of her exposed boob posted in the Turner offices, the lawyer added in sexual harassment. Missy says that's when shit hit the fan.
She isn't allowed to talk about the lawsuit, legally, so all she says is "The litigation was concluded, after approximately 18 months, in December 1996, and I am very pleased with the outcome." Missy got the bag it would seem.
Missy was more or less black balled from most wrestling promotions after WCW fired her and she sued them. She spent a month indulging in pills and depression before moving to New York where, thanks to her and Eddie Gilbert's old friend Paul Heyman, she got a job as a bartender.
One night, while working at the bar, Paul Heyman called Missy, to tell her Eddie Gilbert had passed away. He wrestled a match in Puerto Rico, and then had a heart attack in his sleep and never woke up.
Missy says Eddie's dad never liked her and blamed her for all Eddie's issues after they divorced. He even blamed Missy when Eddie married Medusa for 10 minutes shortly after Eddie and Missy broke up. Missy decided she shouldn't go to the funeral if it will make her father uncomfortable. She found a picture of the 2 dogs her and Eddie had, and wrote a poem on the back of it before mailing it to Eddie's mom, along with a big flower display. The picture and poem were placed inside the casket and Missy heard her flowers were front and center. She says it was a packed house for his funeral, standing room only. She calls it "Eddie's last show, and he sold out the house."
Missy says 6 months later she had lunch with Eddie's mom and visited his grave where she was finally able to pay proper respect to the man she loved.
She makes a point here that Missy and Melissa (her real name) share a lot in common, but it wasn't Missy who married Eddie, it was Melissa. Missy didn't mourn him, Melissa did. She said the love she had for him had nothing to do with the work they did or the angles they had, it was a real connection between two people. She finishes by saying "Hot Stuff Eddie Gilbert didn't die, my ex-husband did. And it hurt."
When her lawsuit with WCW finally wrapped, she was able to work in the wrestling buisness again, so Paul Heyman immediately hired her in early 1997 in ECW.
Missy was paired with Sandman and notes how some guys didn't like to work with him because he was at least half drunk all the time and had bad body oder.
Missy says Sandman's wife accused Missy of sleeping with Sandman and even hit her with a boot once. But Missy maintains nothing happened between them and I believe her. She mentions damn near everyone she slept with in this book, from Road Warrior Hawk to Raven to a bunch of football and hockey players. She said one time while driving past a cemetery, Sandman asked her of she ever had sex on a grave and she thinks (hopes) he was only joking. That's the most sexual their conversations ever got.
Missy has nothing but good things to say about Francine in ECW, but nothing but bad things to say about Beulah. She calls Beulah a bitch and tells a story about how difficult she was when Missy wanted to shoot a calendar with the women of ECW. She makes fun of Beulah for her early days appearing an adult magazine called Cheri. Missy says Cheri made Hustler look like Reader's Digest. She does note how Beulah was quick to leave the wrestling buisness shortly after Missy got there, and tried excusing her poor attitude as someone who was looking to put wrestling behind them.
One time in the ring with Dreamer, Sandman, Beulah and another girl named Kimona, Missy got pissed when Beulah and Kimona started making out and getting all the attention. She told Sandman to pour one of his beers down the front of her chest and she says no one was looking at those 2 girls again. She finishes the story by saying "No one upstaged Missy."
Sandman's wife legit broke Missy's elbow when they were supposed to have one of those dumb cat fights. At some point Sandman's wife grabbed hold of a kendo stick and swung it as hard as possible, catching Missy in the arm and breaking her elbow. Missy says it happened because Sandman's wife was paranoid about Sandman cheating on her and took offence to some shit Missy said in a working promo.
Missy was done working like that in ECW and asked Paul Heyman if she could announce alongside Joey Styles, when he said no, she quit ECW.
She briefly worked as an announcer for the short lived American Wrestling Federation, but that promotion made no money ever and quickly shut its doors.
Missy mentions a couple relationships and flings in the book, but one of the last ones is a hookup with Val Venis. She calls it "the shortest, lamest sex I've ever had. Talk about a guys gimmick not being him!"
Missy was done with the wrestling buisness after a decade and half, and says she spent a year earning her medical technician certificate, and got a job prepping movie stars and models for boob jobs. Good for her!
The book ends with her saying she is working on her bachelor's degree with a major in psychology and a minor in political science. She was still doing the odd indi shows but hardly gets recognized on the streets anymore. This book was published in 2001 so she would have written it before then, probably in 2000.
Looking her up online she did graduate with a degree in Psychology! She did a few random indi appearances and one TNA appearance a couple years ago, but that's it.
The book ends with her listing her top 10 wrestling regrets...
Never worked a Wrestlemania for WWF.
Never got to tell Eddie Gilbert how much she admired him and how much he taught her.
Never kicked Sandman's wife's ass. She is dead serious, as of writing the book you can tell she really really wanted to.
Never slept with Sweet Stan Lane.
Never somersaulted backwards off the top rope.
Never got a tongue lashing from Gene Simmons of Kiss.
Never gave Sunshine enough credit for showing me how to catfight.
Never lewinskied Jesse Ventura. (Anyone know what this means? She doesn't expand on it and never mentioned Ventura in the book, outside of describing how he transitioned into the broadcast booth)
Never studied psychology while active in the buisness.
Never got that Missy Doll.
This was a fun, and short read. Not a lot of research done on her behalf, it was all done from memory so she rarely mentioned what year the stories were taking place in and she talked a lot about hooking up with wrestlers, unafraid of naming them. I'd love to know how much she made off the WCW lawsuit though.

And the tnesion of transfer as I have to change school teases me as well as I may have to change the school, the due transfer was one of the reason why I took online classes. Now I also feel I may be left out in college. I suck at dance and singing. I did recite some poems on stage in official party of my father's colleagues 2 year back, I also travelled alone from flight 3 months back and met sachin Tendulkar and sunil gavaskar.

2024.03.13 15:24 Preesi The Crash Was Staged.

The Crash Was Staged.

\"Oh Maura, why cant I quit you?\"
ALL OF THIS IS MY OPINION AND SPECULATION
I think Maura ran away. Her little brother Kurt wrote a poem asking "Why Did Maura Run Away?" and Mauras track coach, Hoss, who she was sleeping with, said that Maura said she wanted to run away. and Maura disappeared one other time. I think it was planned at the party.
Furthermore, I think the reason Butch Atwood said the girl he saw at the scene had shoulder length black hair was because, Maura had stopped at someones house (maybe in Londonderry) to dye and cut her hair. Mauras phone pinged in Londonderry. AND theres the lost hour. I think she staged the crash, and made it seem like she was drinking and crashed and the Red Truck who was following tandem picked her up and took her to her new life.
I think Maura splashed the wine on the car on purpose to give the appearance of drunk driving that night. She went off course from 91 and was on a rural road. This crash was staged.
When you scroll out on Mauras life, everyone in her family is problematic. I think we all FEEL that The Murrays have secrets. I dont think she was happy.
Forget the flurry of activity at her trunk, what about the flurry of activity at UMASS those 2 weeks before she went missing? None of it makes sense. I think Fred knows more and is afraid to get Maura in more trouble.
I think she hit Patrit Vasi. Fred knew and was gonna be complicit in the cover up, thats why he cant say anything and that gives us the impression that hes not being truthful.
I think Maura did call Billy with the red cross card to further stage the disappearance. Called him, whimpering and crying then hang up and move on to your new life without his abuse and threats.
I think the reason they didnt wanna show the ATM camera footage was because the car is in some shots with damage showing. Ppl say it was altered. Which proves the damage did not occur on 112.
The computer searches were for staging, the email from Billy, the printed instructions to VT, all staging.
Maura wasnt dumb.
The Red Truck from Mass was the Tandem Driver.
ALL OF THIS IS MY OPINION AND SPECULATION

2024.03.02 14:15 LornaMaximoff1991 Please help, caught between ENFJ and ENTP :/

Hey! I don’t know if this place is still active, but I am having a HELL OF A TIME trying to figure out if I’m an ENJ or an ENP. I am hoping y’all can help me out here :)
  1. How old are you? What's your gender? Give us a general description of yourself.
I am 32 yo, and a cis-woman who is married :)
Idk how I’m being asked to describe myself, so I’ll do the best I can: Though I love my family, I am easily carried away with work due to hyper focus. I am a planner, though I don’t always follow through about 30% of the time. I HATE SURPRISES, but love to party and hang out with folks in social settings. Physically, I am in shape, especially for a PhD student since I run to bust stress. I am 5’6” and weigh about 115 lbs—I’ve always had trouble keeping weight on because I forget to eat all the time, ever since I was a small child. I prefer my hair to be long because it connects me with my culture (Choctaw nation), and my fashion sense can be described as contradictory yet still put together? For example, I wear a three piece pantsuit with pinstripes—love the mafia look! But pair it with nude heels and red lipstick, these are my go-tos ;) I only wear a full face of makeup on days I teach or have my own classes.
I have black hair and almost black eyes and pale olive skin
  1. Is there a medical diagnosis that may impact your mental stability somehow?
ADHD (combined), dyslexia, insomnia, and C-PTSD
  1. Describe your upbringing. Did it have any kind of religious or structured influence? How did you respond to it?
Oh dear, where to begin with my dysfunctional g family of origin?e. Other than C-PTSD and ADHD (and insomnia in my case) my sister and I turned out fairly normal. My parents were also Bible thumpers, but did not actually read it beyond the age of 10, but I did when I was 8, 15, and 23. And wow, there were some nasty arguments when I realized how much they gaslit and lied to my sister and me.
I suppose I responded well to my mother’s structure, she was a highly successful career woman, and I always made A’s despite the fact that I was always lost in class and never knew what was going on until the teacher yelled at me.
Being put on adderall made me cry because I realized how much of my life was spent in a state of constant confusion.
  1. What do you do as a job or as a career (if you have one)? Do you like it? Why or why not?
I am a professor of English with my research focus on fan studies I LOVE my job because I get to do what I love most; read fanfiction, read literary theory, sometimes I work with Disney, and most of all, I get to hang out with other nerds 🤓
  1. If you had to spend an entire weekend by yourself, how would you feel? Would you feel lonely or refreshed?
It depends on the week I’ve had…
If I’ve been hitting the books really hard, then I’d feel lonely; however, if I spent the week socializing, I’d probably feel refreshed
  1. What kinds of activities do you prefer? Do you like, and are you good at sports? Do you enjoy any other outdoor or indoor activities?
I love to run for stress and for fun, I fence competitively, and I love playing team games with random people I meet at the park.
I mostly enjoy outdoor sports, but I also love to ice skate.
Many folks and coaches have commented that I am naturally athletic and good at sports with excellent hand eye coordination, however, my spatial awareness is absolutely atrocious to the point I constantly injure myself.
As for indoor stuff, I LOVE JIGSAW PUZZLES and have quite the collection :) I also play a lot of video games (FF, RE, KH, and Pal world) and write fanfiction! Currently, I have 4 long stories going (been working on them for years in bursts) and 3 short stories. I’m trying to finish the long stories before I start any new ones, but it’s soooo hard to wait so I have been brainstorming the new stories while writing to finish the old ones :)
  1. How curious are you? Do you have more ideas then you can execute? What are your curiosities about? What are your ideas about - is it environmental or conceptual, and can you please elaborate?
Omg, my parents favorite line when they were frustrated with me was, “YOU’RE ALL TALK AND NO ACTION!” 🤣🤣🤣 the looks on their faces still make me chuckle warmly; you’ve got to laugh when you’re an alien to your own parents. I have a lot of ideas, and most (75%) get executed once I synthesize my many ideas down to one or two big ideas.
Though my ideas mostly revolve around humanity; why are humans so evil? What makes them good? Why are we a mix of good and bad? Why can’t people act rationally? I am always looking for flaws in all systems, from computers to human societies, nothing is safe from my criticism, especially when people act from their pasts or act solely on emotions.
I daydream A LOT, in fact, it’s so bad I have been diagnosed with maladaptive daydreaming! I daydream so many what ifs for art, films, stories, people, and myself. Most of the time though, I'm daydreaming to understand emotions and humanity better by pretending to be others and mimicking their emotional states through playing out the day dream
  1. Would you enjoy taking on a leadership position? Do you think you would be good at it? What would your leadership style be?
Yes, leadership has a tendency to fall unto me, which I don’t mind at all because I can actually do and get something accomplished in higher education. I am a goal oriented leader who doesn’t quit until our goal is met and I get my hands dirty with those to whom I delegate tasks.
  1. Are you coordinated? Why do you feel as if you are or are not? Do you enjoy working with your hands in some form? Describe your activity?
No, I have very poor coordination, in fact, I injure myself quite often bumping into tables and such. However, if I can get enough sleep, I can be quite coordinated
I am not going to answer the last two questions in this section because they are redundant and I already answered them in section 6.
  1. Are you artistic? If yes, describe your art? If you are not particular artistic but can appreciate art please likewise describe what forums of art you enjoy. Please explain your answer.
I am artistic with poetry, singing, and sewing costumes. My poetry tends to be a little dark and violent, yet empowering to those who have been victimized and refuse to be victims any longer. I also like to add a visual element to the poem, for example, I wrote a poem about Boudicca, a Celtic queen who gathered the oppressed Celtic clans and almost drove out the Roman invaders. Boudicca tends to be fiery, she had red hair, a temper, a badass Queen who refused to stay down when she and her daughters were brutally beaten and raped by Roman soldiers, and most of all, she gathered the courage for the Celts and became the backbone of the revolution to drive out the Roman invaders. To drive this point home to readers, I designed the stanzas to look like flames 🔥
  1. What's your opinion about the past, present, and future? How do you deal with them?
I hate my past, but thankfully, I have a bad memory, so, I don’t remember much of my childhood aside from really traumatic or really great experiences.
My childhood was not a happy one, I was violently bullied from 6 until I was 20 for being neurodivergent and not masking like a “proper lady”
The present? I’d rather be in my head pondering various theories and entertaining certain thoughts, but I can definitely be present when I need to be. I have even snapped back to reality just in time to stop my mom, dad, or sister from doing something dangerous or getting themselves (or me) killed…
The future is where I’m at, and it is often the subject of my daydreaming. I am always trying to optimize myself and/or plan my future to reach these goals perfectly and within a time range I find acceptable.
  1. How do you act when others request your help to do something (anything)? If you would decide to help them, why would you do so?
I get up and help, and sadly, I’m usually leading the “help” to accomplish the task we were asked to do.
? I don’t naturally think about why I do something since I have already intended to do it. I think this is lack of Fi?
  1. Do you need logical consistency in your life?
Absolutely!!! A common line from me in therapy is “I need to stop trying to apply rationality to irrational things like feelings.”
In addition, though I often act like a cartoon character, I find it easy to put my own feelings aside. TBH I wish others were more like this, then we could actually accomplish the thing we originally set out to do instead of getting caught up in human drama.
  1. How important is efficiency and productivity to you?
Extremely important! However, this doesn’t mean I’m all work and no play!
  1. Do you control others, even if indirectly? How and why do you do that?
Sadly, yes, and I don’t even mean to because in my eyes, I’m just arguing my point/stance. I am working through this in therapy.
However, most people say I’m just “charismatic”, not manipulative—though I’d argue they’re the same thing
  1. What are your hobbies? Why do you like them?
Another redundant question that has already been answered.
  1. What is your learning style? What kind of learning environments do you struggle with most? Why do you like/struggle with these learning styles? Do you prefer classes involving memorization, logic, creativity, or your physical senses?
I have trouble learning in a quiet classroom, but benefit the most from collaborating—so long as I’m leading it of course ;)
Jk, jk..or am I?
I think I need to bounce ideas off folks in order to get a sense for what I think. Then I go off on my own and drop the subject from my consciousness only to come back to class the next day with a tone of insights on the topic.
  1. How good are you at strategizing? Do you easily break up projects into manageable tasks? Or do you have a tendency to wing projects and improvise as you go?
I am very poor with tactics but amazingly good at strategy! If anything, I panic and turn in papers and projects a couple of days before they’re due
Time-blindness is real!
  1. What are your aspirations in life, professionally and personally?
Life: to destroy the inter generational trauma and abuse that plagues both sides of my family. …I cannot help them not heal them, but I can save myself and my future children from their dysfunction.
  1. What are your fears? What makes you uncomfortable? What do you hate? Why?
I will not answer this question; it is unwise to give out this information
  1. What do the "highs" in your life look like?
“”
  1. What do the "lows" in your life look like?
“”
  1. How attached are you to reality? Do you daydream often, or do you pay attention to what's around you? If you do daydream, are you aware of your surroundings while you do so?
Again, redundant, but I will elaborate my previous answer here: I spend more time in my head than in”reality”, which is nothing more than a subjective construct. However, I am able to pay attention to my surroundings very well, more so than those who do not daydream. I’ve saved my nephew from being hurt by my inattentive husband who was walking way too fast without looking…and I saved my sisters hamster from being eaten by her cat on Christmas Day. I even said to my parents and sister, “is that the cat with the hamster in her jaws?!” They didn’t believe me until I was wrenching the poor girl from the cats jaws :(
  1. Imagine you are alone in a blank, empty room. There is nothing for you to do and no one to talk to. What do you think about?
I don’t have an answer but I do have a question: does this room have bright overhead lights? Or is the lighting actually reasonable? Like having a lamp is read of an overhead light?
  1. How long do you take to make an important decision? And do you change your mind once you've made it?
Maybe a day at most? I pretty much know what I want right away, and no, I don’t usually change my mind. I’ve done that maybe 5x in my life.
However, I will admit, my MBTI type is the most recent exception.
  1. How long do you take to process your emotions? How important are emotions in your life?
I am still processing emotions that I guess I had 10 years ago. I hate it, it’s painful, but I also understand suppressing them is unhealthy, so, I do the work…albeit a bit later than most.
Emotions just muddy my processes and distract me from my goals, however, this is to the detriment of my social life. I’ve had friendships end because I chose work and deadlines over smoothing over problems in friendships.
  1. Do you ever catch yourself agreeing with others just to appease them and keep the conversation going? How often? Why?
lol no, like, HECK NO. If one person isn’t feeling the conversation, it’s wrong to force it. Also I find it abusive/manipulative NOT TO CORRECT someone who is blatantly wrong.
  1. Do you break rules often? Do you think authority should be challenged, or that they know better? If you do break rules, why?
I don’t break rules often, unless they just exist to make some power hungry jerk happy OR if it’s a rule that exists because it’s always existed. Really? Of course authority NEEDS TO BE CHALLENGED. Most people in positions of power have done nothing to actually merit their power, which is why so many fold immediately when someone asks a critical question. When people have authority, they become too comfortable and too confident to the point of arrogance. I would rather go at it alone than to be “allied” with these people…
THIS ASPECT OF HUMANITY—the need to follow—FRIGHTENS ME more than groupthink. And frankly, I just don’t get it…why would anyone follow an incompetent who likely know less than their followers do?
So bizarre…
